Tampa Bay Lightning DFS SPIN
Jonas Johansson made 36 saves in a 6-4 loss to the Red Wings on Saturday. Johansson had a couple big saves, but had a few unlucky bounces. The Wings’ second goal deflected in off the stick of defender Luke Glendening and the fourth beat Johansson on a deflection. He’s 1-1 to start the season, but hasn’t been especially sharp. Matt Tomkins is likely to start Sunday in Ottawa in the team’s first back-to-back.
Ottawa Senators DFS SPIN
Brady Tkachuk scored two goals, one on the power play, in Saturday’s 5-2 win over the Flyers. The 24-year-old winger potted the last two goals of the afternoon to put the game away, scoring them less than two minutes apart in game time — his first with just six seconds left in the second period. Tkachuk racked up a career-high 35 goals and 83 points last season, and with an improving roster around him, his production could take another step forward in 2023-24.

Lightning vs. Senators NHL Betting Prediction
Take Ottawa. With Andrei Vasilevskiy out at least the next two months after undergoing a successful microdiscectomy to address a lumbar disc herniation, Tampa Bay’s opponents have an advantage to start the season. Backup Johansson played yesterday, which means third-stringer Tomkins will likely start today in Ottawa. The Senators are a young, up-and-coming team with plenty of firepower to take advantage of the Lightning’s goaltending situation.
